Emblemas morales de don Ivan de Horozco y Couarruuias : dedicadas a la buena memoria del presidente Don Diego de Couarruuias y Leya su tio
A Spanish emblem book, Emblemas morales, compiled by Juan de Horozco y Covarrubias and printed at Segovia by Juan de la Cuesta in 1589 for readers of moral and devotional allegory. The 183 woodcuts set small scenes — crosses, skeletons, beasts, landscapes — inside classical aedicules with Corinthian columns, triangular pediments, spheres, flaming altars and strapwork base panels, giving designers reusable frames, plinths and cornice ornaments as well as emblem imagery.
